Magical Healing Rituals in Rural West Sussex

These include rituals involving repetitions of the number 9, spoken charms and incantations, and the use of pins against illness caused by bewitching. These and other practices were taking place as recently as the late 19th century. Moreover, they were not being performed by cunning-folk, self-styled witches or pagans, but by ordinary men and women who would have been shocked by any suggestion that they were other than thoroughly Christian.
